HK youths keen to work with GBA

Survey finds two-thirds of respondents support the area's development plan

Hong Kong youths' recognition of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has reached new heights, with 66 percent of respondents in a recent survey expressing their willingness to develop in the area, and 67 percent either "agreeing" or "strongly agreeing" with the development plan of the GBA, according to the survey released on Tuesday.

The percentage of youths' recognition of the development plan of the GBA was nearly twice as high as the response in 2021, and marked a record high for the tracking index launched in 2018.

The survey was conducted by the Hong Kong Guangdong Youth Association and another three organizations, and interviewed 1,000 Hong Kong youths aged 15 to 39 and 530 Hong Kong youths residing in Guangdong province from September to October. The goal of the survey was to take the pulse of youths' views on the development of the GBA.
